Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse is responsible for assessing changes in body temperature. The nurse instructs nursing assistive personnel to select the appropriate route and device to measure temperature, to obtain temperature measurement at ordered frequency, and to be aware of the usual values for the patient.

Answer to Question 2

A
Perioperative nursing care occurs before, during, and after a surgery. Preadmission testing occurs before surgery and is considered preoperative. Nursing care provided during the surgical procedure is considered intraoperative, and in the postanesthesia care unit, it is considered postoperative. All of these are parts of the perioperative phase, but each individual phase does not explain the term completely.
